Cop in El Cajon #PoliceState shooting appears to be a drunken, bigot, sex pervert too

WTF? Someone said it was OK for this maniac to have a gun???

One of the El Cajon police officers involved in the fatal shooting Tuesday of an unarmed black man is a 21-year department veteran who was demoted last year after a fellow officer sued him and the city alleging sexual harassment.

Mayor Bill Wells identified the officer Wednesday afternoon as Richard Gonsalves, who was accused of making unwanted sexual advances toward a female officer.

Dan Gilleon, the lawyer representing Officer Christine Greer in the lawsuit, is now representing the family of Alfred Olango, who died Tuesday in the police shooting.

Olango was gunned down while holding a vape smoking device. Olango’s death sparked demonstrations and rallies, with protesters demanding police release a cellphone video of the shooting.

In the harassment lawsuit, Greer claimed Gonsalves made unwanted sexual advances toward her and sent her cellphone photographs of his genitals.

On another occasion, the lawsuit contended, Gonsalves sent her text messages saying he was drunk and wanted to have three-way sex with Greer and her wife.

Other women were also harassed by Gonsalves, according to the lawsuit.

Greer settled her lawsuit against Gonsalves and the city. In August, she filed a new one, saying Gonsalves has retaliated against her.

Gonsalves was demoted from sergeant to officer in March 2015.

This guy appears to be a drunken, bigot, sex pervert. He probably should not be allowed near a gun.

Ruthless @ElCajonPolice execute mentally ill African-American man

If you’re mentally ill, African-American, and in El Cajon, odds are good you’ll end up dead.

That’s what happened when El Cajon police officers met up with an African-American man earlier in the day.

The man has not been formally identified.

Chief Jeff Davis said a video taken by a bystander showed the incident but that the department declined to release it at this time.

One officer fired a Taser and another fired rounds from his handgun. No weapon was recovered at the scene.

The shooting sparked protests in the San Diego County city, with friends of the man’s family saying he suffers from a mental illness and did not pose a threat to the officers.

A crowd of about 30 people gathered at the shooting scene. By the evening, the crowd grew to about 100 people, including community leaders and members of local churches.

Most of the demonstrators voiced concerns that the shooting was racially motivated.

Police received three calls about a man acting “erratically” near a strip mall on Broadway near Mollison Avenue shortly after 2 p.m., El Cajon police Lt. Rob Ransweiler said. One caller told them the man was walking in traffic, he said.

El Cajon police officers are not equipped with body-worn cameras.
